NUMBER-ONE SINGLE ON THIS DAY IN 1966

"We Can Work It Out" was the last of six number one singles in a row on the
charts, a record at the time. The Beatles recorded the song on 20 October
1965, four days after its accompanying single track, with an overdub session
on 29 October. They spent nearly 11 hours on the song, by far the longest
expenditure of studio time up to that point.
